At Sand Castle, we understand that booking your wedding venue is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Our team has guided couples through this process for over 30 years, helping them create celebrations that reflect their story. Located at 505 Franklin Avenue in Franklin Square, we serve couples across Long Island, Nassau County, Queens, and Brooklyn with one clear promise only one wedding at a time. Here’s how your journey with us unfolds.
Schedule Your Personal Tour
Every wedding begins with a visit. During your private tour, you’ll explore four acres of landscaped grounds, including our waterfall, gazebo, and the grand staircase that leads to the ceremony area. You’ll see the grand ballroom set for an elegant reception and visit both bridal suites, each equipped with a mini bar, private buffet, and live feed monitors so you can watch your celebration unfold. This is your time to imagine your day here and ask any questions about layout, menus, or logistics.
Discuss Your Vision and Package Options
Once you’ve toured the space, our event specialists will meet with you to review your plans. Sand Castle offers an all inclusive package that simplifies every part of your day. It includes décor, linens, uplighting, a high end menu, open bar, wedding cake, desserts, transportation in a Rolls-Royce, ice sculpture, smoke effects, and a ceremony setup. Because every detail is managed on site, you can focus on celebrating rather than coordinating vendors.
Secure Your Date with One-Affair Exclusivity
Unlike most venues, we host only one wedding at a time. That means the grounds, staff, and every corner of the property are dedicated entirely to your event. You’ll have full privacy for photos across our landscaped gardens and pond area, and a smooth flow from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception without competing events. Once your date is secured, it’s fully yours, giving you the freedom to enjoy every moment without distractions, share private spaces with loved ones, and move through your celebration at a relaxed, natural pace that feels completely your own.
Customize Your Menu with Our Culinary Team
Led by Chef John Arenth, our culinary team crafts menus designed around your preferences and dietary needs. We can accommodate gluten free, vegan, kosher, and halal menus. The experience starts with a lavish cocktail hour featuring top shelf beverages and continues with plated entrées, dessert stations, and your custom cake. Couples often tell us that their tasting is when their vision truly comes to life.
Finalize Details with Your Planning Team
As your day approaches, you’ll work with two Maître Ds, two bridal attendants, and a dedicated service team, one server per table, to ensure flawless execution. We’ll confirm your timeline, décor details, and vendor arrivals. Our recommended partners include florists, photographers, and entertainment professionals familiar with our space, making planning effortless.
